What comes to mind when you hear the word "career?" What comes to mind with regard to your own career?

The traditional definition of a career is “an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person’s life and with opportunities for progress.” This definition is outdated and reminiscent of the days when you landed a job and stayed there until you retired. The economic crash in the 1980's marked the end of this traditional idea of career in my opinion.

Veterans and Memorial Day have significant meaning for me because they remind me of my Father's service to his country and that I miss him terribly.

Starting the Day Right

Whether you're heading out to the office and prepping to go downstairs to your home-based office, it's important to mentally and physically prepare yourself for a productive and successful work day.

It can be easier to get into a "morning routine" when you have to physically leave your home, but when all you have to do is walk to another part of your home from the comfort of your bed it can be a bit more challenging.

It’s tempting to wear your PJ’s or...

It's Monday morning, your alarm goes off, and as your eyes flutter open you realize it's time to get up and ready for work. The only problem is you're heading to a job you no longer love.

Sooner or later, it’s something we all face: a job we just can’t stand. It might be the job itself, the environment in which you're working, a few untenable co-workers, or your boss. There’s just something that rubs you the wrong way and is no longer working for you.
